Chrome: HoverReader, once installed, lets you hover over a link to a news article to see a pop-up display of an article preview or its full-text before you click. It's especially useful if you're browsing an article full of links, or want to preview an article before you click through on Reddit, Hacker News, or other news aggregators.

The add-on is simple enough, once it's installed, you can just hover your mouse right over a link to an article to see the article text in a pop-up bubble in your browser. Admittedly, the add-on doesn't work everywhere, but it does work on sites like Google News, Hacker News, Yahoo, Digg, Facebook, Reddit, and more—and it works with news and blog articles from dozens of newspaper or news sites. You can see a full list at the add-on description in the Chrome Web Store. Hit the link below to give it a try.
